- "Hurts…"
"It's okay. Hold onto me. We started this together. We'll end it together. I won't leave you." - ―DB-7197 and KM-8713
DB-7197 was a human stormtrooper of the First Order. He fought in Captain Phasma's attack on the iron planet Demir, but was fatally wounded. Fellow trooper KM-8713 tried to save DB-7197, but when Phasma's life was threatened by a thermal detonator, she threw the injured trooper onto the explosive, killing him but saving herself.
History[]
- "What are you doing? Leave him."
"I…I can bring him. He won't slow us down."
"That was an order, KM-8713. Not a suggestion." - ―Phasm and KM-8713
DB-7197 served the First Order as a stormtrooper. He went through basic training with fellow trooper KM-8713.[3] Sometime between 24 ABY and 34 ABY,[1] DB-7197 participated in the First Order Army's assault on the planet Demir, serving under Captain Phasma. After DB-7197 received a wound to his chest during the conflict, KM-8713 discovered the fallen trooper. KM-8713 assisted DB-7197 to his feet and offered words of encouragement.[3]
Upon witnessing the two, Phasma instructed KM-8713 to leave DB-7197 behind, then clarified it as an order after KM-8713 protested. Then, a Demirian ambushed the group but was thwarted by KM-8713's blaster fire. The fallen Demirian dropped an active thermal detonator, which prompted Phasma to throw DB-7197's body atop the grenade at the protest of the other two.[3]
Personality and traits[]
- "DB-7197 was a good soldier."

DB-7197 was a[3] human.[2] KM-8713 thought he was a good soldier, though Phasma insisted he was an acceptable soldier.[3]
Equipment[]
- "You are in my command. You are another gun I hold. If your aim isn't true. If you falter. Then you are no longer a gun. No longer worthy to be in my hand."
- ―Phasma
DB-7197 wore standard white First Order stormtrooper armor. During his assignment on Demir, his armor received a hole in its chest and his helmet was broken after Phasma threw him onto a thermal detonator.[3]
